CImCombine:MaskedMean
The MaskedMean method merges the pixel values excluding 0-value pixels from the distribution at each point. The value 0 is therefore a mask value.
CImage = CImCombine:MaskedMean( CImageSet ) |
CImageSet contains the collection of images to be combined.
CImage is a new image created by this method.
On success, this method returns a new CImage.
On failure, this method returns nil.
Each pixel in the output image is the mean value of all images except for those with a value of zero (0).
Suppose a CImageSet named S exists. The following script fragment combines the images by the MaskedMean method. The images are normalized by the Median statistic computed inside the central 10% of the image:
C = CImCombine:new() |
-- create a CImCombine object |
R = CRect:new(10,50,10,50) |
-- central 10% of the image |
C:SetRelRect( R ) |
-- specify CImage and CRect to measure |
C:SetNormStat("median") |
-- use the MmClip as the normalization statistic |
C:SetNormMethod("scale") |
-- scale to normalize the image set |
I = C:MaskedMean( S ) |
-- combine the image set and return a new image |
I:Display() |
-- show the new image |
C:delete() |
-- when done with S, remove it from memory |
